BECOMING  SUCCESSFUL.

 

There are two classes of people :  leaders  and

followers. More often, followers do not achieve noteworthy success,  and never succeed until they break  away from ranks of followers and become leaders.  Being a leader entails the deployment of initiative without which no one can achieve success. 

 

It is  essential in the development of initiative and leadership to  form the habit of prompt decision making. All successful people have appreciable amount of decision-making power.    In the pursuit of  successful accomplishment,  SMART goals and objectives  are  important but not sufficient until a pragmatic implementation plan is emplaced. Even then,  you may have all the necessary ability and resources to implement,  nothing  will happen until you actually take the initiative  and roll  the wheel of  your plan into motion and keep steering until your goals are achieved.  Action creates results; nothing else does.

 

Look around your environment and study those whom you know to be failures, and there are  many of them.  You will observe that,  without exception, they lack  initiatives and the firmness of decision, even in  matters of the smallest importance.  Such individuals ‘talk’ and idealize a great deal, but they are deficit  on performance.   To succeed in life, deeds, not words, should be the watchword.  

 

No one ever accomplished anything, created anything or made  any astounding progress without the use of imagination.  Everything ever created  or built was first  mentally envisioned-.  Whatever you cannot see in your inner eyes, you cannot attain.  To dress for a party, cook a meal  or even drive your car home  will be impossible  without a mental  image of your desire. 

No matter the level of your intellect, how great your ambition,  the vastness of your relationship,  the depth of your access to finance, aii these will be rendered useless  without the driving force of imagination.  In the workshop  of imagination, realities  are created and nothing can be achieved without imagination except  accident. 

 

How then  do you  deploy the power of your  imagination?
